DENVER, May 23 () -- Patrick Roy, who helped Colorado to two Stanley Cup titles as a goaltender, Thursday agreed in principle to become the Avalanche's next coach.Roy, 47,[url=http://www.tymarc.com/]christian louboutin discount[/url], is a Hall of Fame goaltender who won the Stanley Cup in 1986 and 1993 while with the Montreal Canadiens and in 1996 and 2001 while playing for Colorado."This is a very exciting day for our fans and a significant moment in our organization's history," said Avalanche team President Josh Kroenke. "Patrick's passion for the game of hockey both as a player and as a coach defines who he is as a person. He is a winner and is coming back to Denver where he created numerous special moments on and off the ice while helping lead us to two Stanley Cup championships."Since retiring as a player after the 2002-03 season, Roy has since been the coach, general manager and co-owner of the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League."This is an unbelievable day for me," said Roy. "It's a new and exciting challenge that I am really looking forward to. I would like to thank Stan and Josh Kroenke for this opportunity as well as Joe Sakic for the trust they are putting in me."Almost 10 years to the day that I announced my retirement as a player I am back in Denver and hope the fans are as excited as I am."Roy replaces Joe Sacco, who was fired after this season. Colorado was last in the NHL's Western Conference with 39 points. Sacco had been the Avalanche coach for four seasons.
